Across the Border

Tonight my bag is packed

Tomorrow Ill walk these tracks

That will lead me across the border

Tomorrow my love and I will sleep neath auburn skies

Somewhere across the border

Well leave behind my dear

The pain and sadness we found here

And well drink from the bravos muddy water

Where the sky grows grey and wide

Well meet on the other side

There across the border

For you Ill build a house

High upon a grassy hill

Somewhere across the border

Where pain and memory

Pain and memory have been stilled

There across the border

And sweet blossoms fill the air

Pastures of gold and green

Roll down into cool clear waters

And in your arms neath open skies

Ill kiss the sorrow from your eyes

There across the border

Tonight well sing the songs

Ill dream of you my coraz_n

And tomorrow my heart will be strong

And may the saints blessing and grace

Carry me safely into your arms

There across the border

For what are we

Without hope in our hearts

That someday well drink from gods blessed waters

And eat the fruit from the vine

I know love and fortune will be mine

Somewhere across the border
